AWS D1 /D1 M:2020 An American National Standard Structural Welding Code— Steel AWS D1 /D1 M:2020 An American National Standard Approved by the American National Standards Institute December 9, 201 Structural Welding Code—Steel 24th Edition Supersedes AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2015 Prepared by the American Welding Society (AWS) D1 Committee on Structural Welding Under the Direction of the AWS Technical Activities Committee Approved by the AWS Board of Directors Abstract This code covers the welding requirements for any type of welded structure made from the commonly used carbon and low-alloy constructional steels Clauses through 11 constitute a body of rules for the regulation of welding in steel construction There are eight normative and eleven informative annexes in this code A Commentary of the code is included with the document AWS D1 /D1 M:2020 ISBN Print: 978-1-64322-087-1 ISBN PDF: 978-1-64322-088-8 © 2020 by American Welding Society All rights reserved Printed in the

classifications, and guides) of the American Welding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or made part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws and regulations In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus While AWS administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance on this standard AWS also makes no guarantee or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information published herein In issuing and making this standard available, AWS is neither undertaking to render professional or other services for or on behalf of any person or entity, nor is AWS undertaking to perform any duty owed by any person or entity to someone else Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances It is assumed that the use of this standard and its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and competent personnel This standard may be superseded by new editions This standard may also be corrected through publication of amendments or errata, or supplemented by publication of addenda Information on the latest editions of AWS standards including amendments, errata, and addenda is posted on the AWS web page (www.aws.org) Users should ensure that they have the latest edition, amendments, errata, and addenda Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name Users of this standard accept any and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items AWS disclaims liability for the infringement of any patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to so Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request, in writing, to the appropriate technical committee Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society, Attention: Director, Standards Development, 8669 NW 36 St, # 130, Miami, FL 33166 (see Annex T) With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they not constitute professional advice Such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them These individuals not speak on behalf of AWS, nor these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS In addition, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding It must be reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn Comments (recommendations, additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are requested and should be addressed to AWS Headquarters Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding and the author of the comments will be informed of the Committee’s response to the comments Guests are invited to attend all meetings of the AWS D1 Committee on Structural Welding to express their comments verbally Procedures for appeal of an adverse decision concerning all such comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of the Technical Activities Committee A copy of these Rules can be obtained from the American Welding Society, 8669 NW 36 St, # 130, Miami, FL 33166 iii AWS D1 /D1 M:2020 This page is intentionally blank iv AWS D1 /D1 M:2020 Personnel AWS D1
